French prosecutors are set to ask an investigative judge to take over a probe into spending by former Renault SA Chairman Carlos Ghosn.
Prosecutors from Nanterre, near Paris, opened a preliminary probe last year and are planning to task an investigative judge with wider powers to continue the case, the prosecutor’s office said in an email.
Arrested in November 2018 in Tokyo and then freed on bail, Ghosn made a dramatic escape last month and fled to Lebanon. He has denied all of the Japanese charges, saying they were part of a conspiracy to prevent further integration between Nissan Motor Co. and Renault.
